Topic: Westminster Lobby - I'm so proud

I recently applied to Cancer Research UK to be a Campaigns Ambassador & was accepted!! We go to Parliament on Wednesday 3rd November to lobby our MPs. Sadly, my MP won't be in Westminster that day, but they're trying to find me another MP to lobby; if they can't, I'll just go along & join in the lobby anyway

They asked for a photo of me, with the Westminster Lobby sign, standing by a local sign or landmark - I submitted them yesterday & I'm now on the lobby map (I'm "Julia, Hornsey & Wood Green"). I'll post a link at the bottom; if the first link just takes you to a generic google map, with no list of Ambassadors down the side, try the second link & you'll see a smaller version of the lobby map, with an option underneath it to go to a larger map.

They've told me they can't target any particular cancer specifically, as they are working for all cancers, but I was able to get a reference to CC as my caption & I'm so proud.

Thank you all so much - I so desperately want to help before I pop with the frustration of feeling so helpless. It makes me even prouder to read your wonderful comments.

Glenda Jackson, MP for nearby Hampstead & Kilburn, has agreed that I may join her Ambassador at their meeting. As a newbie, it'll be great for me to be supporting someone in the first instance, then I'll be more comfortable being let loose on my own

I'll keep you updated & will post pictures if I can.
